It is known and on the (long) list of issues to be fixed in the future. A lot of work is going on regarding BMR issues atm but there is still no ETA whenever fixes can be merged into a public firmware.
Going back a bit in the thread, I notice that a lot of GT DD Pro or CS DD+ owners are having problems with the 457 driver on PS5 with the GT7 game.
Could some CS DD or CS DD+ owners who play exclusively on PC give me some feedback on this driver. Is it stable for a PC player? Do you have disconnection problems or anything else?
The problems with disconnects on the Playstation 5 can be completely resolved with PS4 mode! I've been using PS4 mode for some time now and haven't had any more disconnects. So in my eyes it is a workaround.
There are no more problems on the PC with driver 457!
I suspect that is true, but I have also seen quite a few people say on various forums that it has helped going to QR2… so I’ll give it a try..
I am also thinking that moving to QR2 over the QR Lite will give me a longer lifespan of the wheel and base. (Maybe a little security if the worst happens to the company, which I sincerely hope it doesn’t, I want them to survive)
I’m not in a position where I can get rid of my Fanatec gear now and purchase something else, when I bought the DD Pro I was hoping it would be, at a minimum, a decade before I considered anything else.. so I’m invested in trying absolutely everything..
If it doesn’t help, I’ll keep waiting on support 🤷🏻♂️
people here talk mostly about clubsport dd/dd++ disconnect issues as you not even tell in beginning what you have noone can guide you to the right path
I have posted many times including my initial posts on pages 38 and 39, and stated that I have the GT DD Pro, there are no guides for anyone far as I can tell.
Geoff were you previously running your DD Pro w FW from driver 451? Did you have the same issues? 451 was very stable and if no issues I say go back to that one until the next release.
Thanks, I don't think I've tried 451, I've used 454, 455, and 457... And various combinations of those.. I am currently using 455 for base and motor and 457 for wheel..
I did see a post regarding 451 and was thinking of giving it a go.. I might try it out, is that what you are using still? And I guess 451 for everything ... base motor and wheel?
I still have 451 on my DD Pro and it was solid. I’ve since upgraded to a DD+ this year, but kept the Pro as a backup. But if I was still running the Pro, I’d likely still be on 451 as not much I’ve read would tempt me.
Wheels depends on which ones you have. Mine are older so FW didn’t change much. But the GT wheel might benefit.
Start w base, motor and wqr from 451 and see how that goes. Leave the wheels as is for now
I clean installed 451 last night..base, motor and wheel..
Got 17 minutes into 3 laps around Nordschleife and had a disconnect.. I didn't power off the base, I removed the wheel via QR Lite then immediately re attached it, pressed X and kept on going.. no need to hit PS button.. so I think the base was still connected, just the buttons and gears stopped.. disconnect at the QR Lite maybe???
I then did 3 laps of Spa without issue.. hopefully will test more tonight.
I don't recall anyone ever saying PS4 mode was a fix for DD Pro disconnects, only GT DD X and CS DD / CS DD +. Do every time someone mentions that fix and you say it doesn't work for you, that fix or workaround was only for a wheel that you don't have. And then you often times don't mention which wheel you're using when saying it doesn't work, adding to confusion.
So no, it's not gonna work for you and no one ever said it would. So you don't have to mention that it doesn't every time someone brings it up as a fix to a wheel you don't have.
Geoff, so if that seems better at this point for FW I’d think to try updating only WQR to version included w 457 or maybe the hotfix version from Marcel directly.
But could be hardware related. Is it QR1 lite or QR2 lite? Mclaren wheel? QR1 lite was the weakest, QR2 lite a big improvement. Metal QR2 even better, but QR2 lite is ok for 8NM, QR1 lite is marginal. Mclaren wheel is not super stiff so avoid pulling and flexing while driving
You’ve tried the shaft clamp double screw fix so sounds like QR1? Also some people had loose screws on the wheel side around the pins. Personally found the metal QR2 upgrades a nice improvement over metal QR1 but never had connection issues w QR1 either, just rigidity in the connection. But QR1 lite could be part of the issue
pretty sure I solved the issue last night.. I swapped over to QR2 and raced 50 minutes straight without a disconnection. It was solid as a rock. I agree, QR Lite for me was the issue.
anyone else who hasn’t read posts prior to this,
I HAVE A GT DD PRO that was disconnecting randomly
not any other kind of DD.. thanks to everyone that tried to help.
it would be nice yes if they add this also the Assetto Corsa Competizione.
but there is one small thing about this. its kind off finished project already. adding a total new ffb system is not very healthy for that spesific project

Yes. Nobody knows when the issue will be fixed.

Hi everyone
Going back a bit in the thread, I notice that a lot of GT DD Pro or CS DD+ owners are having problems with the 457 driver on PS5 with the GT7 game.

Thanks in advance for your feedback
CS DD+ with a Clubsport RS, 0 problems on PC.
Thanks for your feedback Bob.
CS DD+ with GT DD Extreme wheel and McLaren GT3 Wheel, ....have been using 457 on PC for some months.
Iracing, ACC, Dirt Rally 2, WRC10
No issues observed, to date.
Note, I did completely remove previous drivers, reboot, then re-install 457.
When will the 458 driver be released?
There is no ETA for a new driver yet.
The problems with disconnects on the Playstation 5 can be completely resolved with PS4 mode! I've been using PS4 mode for some time now and haven't had any more disconnects. So in my eyes it is a workaround.

Hi Thomas,
This like all the other “fixes” only seems to work for some, it didn’t work with me..
Double sided clamp didn’t work, the powered hub didn’t work, new cables didn’t work, changing drivers didn’t work…
I cleared the cache and rebuilt the database of my PS5, it is slightly more stable, but nothing has fixed the disconnects.
I heard back from support, they asked for a video, and I’ve heard nothing since.. (I am about two months on from when I raised the ticket).
now I’ve spent more money and ordered QR2 for base and wheel in the hope that this will work.
I hope for others that PS4 compatibility mode works for them, but it may not for everyone.
sounds like support not even cares that you have issue as this forum is full off those disconnect issues and they ask a video
QR1 and QR2 have nothing to do with the disconnections, as this is purely mechanical.
I suspect that is true, but I have also seen quite a few people say on various forums that it has helped going to QR2… so I’ll give it a try..
I am also thinking that moving to QR2 over the QR Lite will give me a longer lifespan of the wheel and base. (Maybe a little security if the worst happens to the company, which I sincerely hope it doesn’t, I want them to survive)

QR1 lite have way too much movement, not like that specific product at all
i think that thing should stay in museum and remember good old days
Hi Neil and Allen,

When the entire company is bankrupt, facing possible liquidation, releasing a stable driver for their expensive gear is the least of the concern.
it looks like with today news Endor searches the buyer.
Bit off topic but has anyone heard anything on full force coming soon in any games
it could be that the Assetto Corsa EVO comes with that as default
Acc are last to get it. They said iracing and gt7 first.
i think meant new upcoming Assetto Corsa game, not know when they add or if they even add this to the Assetto Corsa Competizione
there no info either if they add this to Assetto Corsa EVO or not
it would be nice yes if they add this also the Assetto Corsa Competizione.
but there is one small thing about this. its kind off finished project already. adding a total new ffb system is not very healthy for that spesific project
